“The Israel Air Force attacked a terror cell in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet.

Members of the terror cell were planting explosives on the border fence, which they were planning on setting off near an IDF patrol.

The Palestinians reported one killed, 31-year-old Musa Za’aytar, and three others wounded in the attack, their condition currently unknown. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militant group affiliated with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group, later identified the deceased as a member, saying he was targeted while planting explosives.”

Whilst the terror cell’s affiliations are not clear, as far as the BBC is concerned this Palestinian fatality will join the many others which are opaquely described as having come about “in clashes with Israeli forces”.
